NEW YORK (AP) — The fed-
titrust case against Microsoft
Corp. questioned the limited
scope of the agreement Thurs-
of the software giant’s dominant
role in the computer industry.
A day before Microsoft and
the Justice Department were
to seek final approval of the
settlement, U.S. District
Judge Stanley Sporkin in
Washington said he will ask
the two sides to explain why
certain business practices
were left out of the agreement.
Sporkin said he wanted to
know why Microsoft wasn’t re
quired to establish a barrier
between the development of
operating software, which
runs the basic functions of a
personal computer, and appli
cations software, which in
cludes word processing and
spreadsheet programs.
Microsoft critics said it gave
its own applications program
mers access to operating soft
ware improvements before
sharing them with other com
panies, a key advantage that
helped Microsoft attain unpar
alleled strength.
Sporkin’s ruling is not itself
has taken into consideration
many of the criticisms of the

settlement, forged last July af
ter a four-year government in
vestigation of Microsoft.
Sporkin questioned why the
Justice Department created no
system to monitor Microsoft’s
compliance with the agree
ment, which requires changes
in incentives Microsoft gave
personal computer makers to
install its software.
The judge said he also wanted
to know why the settlement
shouldn’t have a provision that
bans Microsoft from misleading
statements about products in de
velopment, a marketing practice
known as “vaporware” that
tends to prevent potential com
petitors from entering a market.
Sporkin also wanted to
know why Microsoft wasn’t re
quired to disclose codes that
give it an advantage over oth
er software companies in cre
ating word processing and oth
er applications software.
Microsoft spokesman Greg
Shaw said the company will be
able to address the issues raised
by Sporkin. “We’re hopeful the
judge will grant this,” he said.
The Justice Department had
no immediate comment.
If the settlement is rejected,
Sporkin could order the Justice
Department and Microsoft to try
again. That raises the prospect
of much harsher restrictions on

Microsoft that could, in the ex
treme, include splitting it up like
AT&T more than a decade ago.
The computer industry has
been transfixed by the case,
awaiting the outcome in what
could be a pivotal point in the
story of Microsoft’s phenomenal
success and awesome reach.
Sporkin -conducted two
hearings last fall. He indicated
before; his Thursday release
that the hearing Friday would
be the final one in the case,
but he also invited comment
